Kettlebells

Kettlebells, also known as giryas, are iron or steel spheres with a flat base and a handle or grip at the top. These muscle strengthening accessories, available in different sizes and weights (between 4kg and 50kg), allow you to exercise the whole body with simple and natural movements. The main objective is to teach the user to involve as many muscles as possible in the workouts, with all the body working in harmony and rather than concentrating on particular areas as usually happens in the majority of classical exercises.
